It’s great that there are more holistic and womanistic options now. I can imagine how a woman in your mother’s situation 50 years ago would have felt totally trapped.
Not just 50 years ago, to many women died in child birth for hundreds of years before the C-Section was invented.
I was only 33 when I had mine 2nd C-Section, and was told NO more even if I would have liked to try for a girl, all mine were boys. The OB/GYN medical field had set 2 C-Sections as a limit for safety.
They may be different today.
Now I battle Chronic Pain, OA/OP/Spinal degeneration/Gastropresis/Barrett’s Esophagus/Diverticulosis/Peripheral Neuropathy/bursitis and currently a skin yeast infection nothing works on, not meds or natural. Getting old is not for the faint of heart.
